Such portable cup achieves the expected effects of environmental protection, cost-effectiveness, and waste reduction.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a portable cup attached to a product container, and more particularly to the portable cup with the features of simple installation and assembly and easy and convenient use, and the product contained in the container is easy-to-pack, easy-to-carry and easy-to-use, and the packed product has the moistureproof, leakproof and quality assurance functions, so as to achieve the expected effects of environmental protection, cost-effectiveness and waste reduction.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In today's fast-paced and busy commercial and industry society, various different instant beverages and nutritional supplements have been gradually accepted and widely used extensively, and thus the consumption of instant beverages and nutritional supplements becomes increasingly greater. Since various instant beverages or nutritional supplements, regardless of its form in tablet, liquid or powder, are brewed with liquid before consumption, therefore most manufacturers attach a portable cup with measurement to a container for containing the beverage for the convenience of use. In FIG. 1, the container 1 for containing an instant beverage or nutritional supplement further includes a portable cup 2 provided for drinking, and the portable cup 2 may be installed or removed freely, so that a user can put beverage or nutritional supplements in a container 1 directly and brewed in the portable cup 2 to provide a convenient way of drinking.

However, the aforementioned portable cup still has the following drawbacks:

1. Since container 1 for containing an instant beverage or a nutritional supplement generally has a relatively large volume which is not convenient to carry, and the portable cup 2 does not come with a cup lid, therefore, the mouth of the portable cup 2 may open anytime, and the portable cup 2 is inconvenient to pack or carry, so that when users wants to have the instant beverage or nutritional supplement at office or picnic, the portable cup 2 cannot be used conveniently. It is wasteful and non-economical to purchase a large number of packing cups or packing cans with a lid in order to have an easy-to-pack and easy-to-carry cup.

2. The large container 1 is inconvenient to carry, so that such container 1 is generally put at home or a fixed place, and users usually use a handy tea cup instead of the portable cup 2 for brewing beverages or dissolving nutritional supplements, and the portable cup 2 is set aside, thus not just causing a waste of resources only, but also causing an environmental protection issue and a secondary pollution.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art by providing a portable cup attached to a product container, so that the product in the container has the easy packing, easy-to-carry, and easy-to-use effects, and the packed product has the moistureproof, leakproof and quality assurance functions, so as to achieve the expected effects of environmental protection, cost-effectiveness and waste reduction.

To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention includes a cup lid attached to the portable cup or the bottom of the portable cup, and the cup lid has a sealing device sealed and combined to the mouth of the portable cup. With the cup lid appropriately sealed and combined to the mouth of the portable cup, a product contained in the container has the easy packing, easy-to-carry and easy-to-use effects and the portable cup has the moistureproof, leakproof and quality assurance functions to the packed product. Such portable cup achieves the expected effects of environmental protection, cost-effectiveness and waste reduction.
